Movie Review
Query Engine
The Web's largest online directory of movie reviews. It has an American
bias but this is a huge database of film reviews - all styles and from all
periods.
Exploitika
Over ten hours of the finest sleazy listening, loungecore, funk,
crime-jazz and psychedelic beats from the soundtracks of 60's & 70's
cult movies.
Movie
Posters
PostersFast is a service which offers a quick turn around of niche movie
posters for those of you with a bit a space on your walls. It is a
Detroit-based firm so everything is US-oriented. But the deal is simple,
clear and the choice is excellent. Plenty of 60s and 70s film posters in
their range.
